  Consistent with recent independent studies, we confirm that the GCG-induced increase in oxygen consumption is only partially blunted in Fgf21−/− mice [32], implicating additional GCGR-dependent mechanisms contributing to the acute GCG-dependent enhancement of energy expenditure. Notably, glucagon ad

  Clinical trials testing GLP-1 mimetics in AD or PD patients GIP analogues show good neuroprotective effects in animal models of AD and PD Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a 42-amino matrix metalloproteinase incretin growth factor which activates pancreatic islets to enhanc

  2021-11-04

  

  Growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHSR) is a member of G-protein-coupled receptor family [3]. GHSR is predominantly expressed in human pituitary, rhypothalamus and hippocampus [4]. GHSR is also expressed in peripheral tissues including lungs, liver, kidney, and adrenal gland. In cardiovascular s

  Nicastrin is heavily glycosylated, contributing 40–70KDa to the molecular weight of human γ-secretase. Among the 16 predicted N-linked glycosylation sites in the ECD, 11 have been unambiguously identified. The glycans appear to mostly stabilize the local structure, thus contributing to the folding a

  2021-11-04

  

  A mutation in stearoyl coenzyme A desaturase 1 gene was reported to reduce sebum production and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) synthesis in mice, which was accompanied with impaired clearance of gram-positive bacteria-induced skin infection (Georgel et al., 2005). Interestingly, gram-positive ba

  Compound 10 and several additional FPR1 antagonists identified here specifically blocked fMLF-induced responses mediated via FPR1 in FPR1-HL60 17 aag and human neutrophils, but not responses mediated via FPR2 or FPR3 (in human neutrophils and transfected HL60 cells) or Fpr1 (murine neutrophils and

  Through the analysis of various synthetic GPR40 agonists as reported in literature, we found that a number of these compounds contained a phenylpropanoic LY3009104 motif which was inspired from naturally occurring medium to long chain fatty acids. For instance, in the early period of discovering TA

  As concerns TRPV1 assays, benzylic amides and benzylic reverse amides exhibited an overall superiority over their aryl counterparts and , and ureas and . A reversed trend was however observed with the 4-chlorostyryl and 4--butylphenyl moieties (compare compounds and ; , , and ; and ). The EC a

  Recent findings of us suggest that compounds that inhibit both FAAH and TRPV1 may be more efficacious in pain relief than those targeting only one such protein. As continuation of our efforts to identify new molecules able to target simultaneously both FAAH and TRPV1 receptors, we hypothesized that

  2021-11-03

  

  Recently, the spectrin cytoskeleton, a deformable actin-associated network, has been identified as a modulator of Yki function, potentially acting both apically and basally in different cell types [75•, 76•, 77•]. Several mechanisms have been proposed, including regulation via Crb/Ex tethering [], t

  In the adult normal spinal cord, the resident cells mainly include neurons, astrocytes, oligodendroglia and microglia (Lecca et al., 2012, Miyagi et al., 2012). After SCI, the lesion microenvironment is complex, which includes the functional changes of CNS resident cells and the infiltration of leuk

  Tumor-specific CD8+ cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognizing tumor antigenic peptide/major histocompatibility complexes-I (pMHC-I) presented on tumor cells play an important role in antitumor immunity [12]. However, immune tolerance including central (natural) or peripheral (acquired) tolerance be

  The exact mechanism by which mitochondrial hexokinases such as HK1 and HK2 prevent apoptosis is unclear. Mitochondrial hexokinases have been shown to bind with the voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1), giving them direct access to ATP for use as an energy source [36]. Akt has been shown to pro

  Recently, some published studies showed that HBV can induce autophagy in vitro and vivo [[19], [20], [21]]. The critical role of autophagy in HBV normal life cycle, such as HBV envelopment, has been gradually accepted by researchers from different laboratories [22,23]. HBV can trigger the autophagic
